John Hurt is perfect....The revelation is Richard Burton...
Uncut
Rating: B+ --
Its accuracy goes hand-in-hand with its unobtrusive nature, perfectly creating the ordinariness of Orwell's dystopian nightmare in ways that unsettle you only in retrospect.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Radford's visualization of Orwell's vision in 1984 is all the more powerful and disconcerting today for how frighteningly prescient it was

Rating: 8/10 --
Radford and Deakins brilliantly juxtapose these vistas of industrial decay with pastoral shots of the verdant English countryside to which the characters escape, first in person, then in their minds.

Rating: 3/5 --
Solid version of the famous sci-fi novel. Big Brother again rules.

...[Radford] has probably made as fine an adaptation as possible....Hurt's performance...is the film's center of gravity...
New York Times
Nodding to the movie's bleak mood, Burton bleakens himself; robbed of the pleasures of the grand, show-offy way he could use his voice, the mischievous twinkle of his eye, you feel cheated.

Product Description:
A fine and stunning screen adaptation of George Orwell's prophetic 1948 novel about a world in which the government completely controls the masses by controlling their thoughts, altering history and even changing the meaning of words to suit its needs. This was Richard Burton's final film.
